Power of Intuition: Tarot and Oracle Cards

Have you ever had a gut feeling about something? Maybe you just knew who was calling before you picked up the phone, or you had a feeling you shouldn’t take a certain path home? That’s called your intuition, it’s your inner wisdom guiding you! One fun way to connect with your intuition is by using tarot and oracle cards. These special decks can help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and choices better. Both tarot and oracle cards can help you tap into your inner wisdom, but they are each a little different. Let’s explore what makes them different, how to choose the right deck, and an easy three-card spread to try at home!

Tarot decks have  seventy eight cards with a set structure. They include the major arcana which is made up of twenty two cards which typically show your big life events and lessons. They also include the minor arcana which is made up of fifty six cards that focus more on day to day situations. The good thing about tarot cards is that they always have the same meaning no matter what deck you choose.

Oracle decks are more free-flowing. They can have any number of cards and different themes, like angels, animals, or moon phases. Unlike tarot cards, these cards' meanings change depending on the deck. Oracle cards are great if you want a deck that provides gentle guidance and easy messages, while tarot cards provide more detailed and in depth answers.

With so many tarot and oracle decks out there, how do you pick the right one? Here are some tips. Look at the artwork, does it make you feel inspired, happy, or connected? You should also be inclined to pick a deck that speaks to you! It is important to check the theme, some decks focus on love, nature, or even fairy tales, and you should choose one that best matches your interests. You should also hold the deck if possible, for example if you're shopping in person, so you can see if you feel physically drawn to the cards. If it feels good, it might just be the right one for you! If you are buying a deck online, you could read the reviews, this way you can read what others say about the deck. Of course though, the most important thing to do is to trust your intuition—it will guide you to the perfect deck!
